Review on AMD Athlon II X3 400E Energy Efficient Rana 2.2 GHz 3x512 KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 45W Triple-Core Processor for Retail - AD400EHDGIBOX by Anastazja Kendziora- ᠌

I have been using this processor since 2022, I easily unlocked the 4th core and the L3 cache on the MA770-US3 motherboard, it is defined as AMD Phenom II X4 B45 3.1 GHz (I didn’t raise the frequency, after unlocking the 4th core and the cache I don’t see much point in this). The performance index in WIndows 7 is 7.3 (before unlocking 4 cores it was 6.8). There is a regular cooler, which is more than enough (under load, the CPU heats up to 48-50 degrees). In general, for this money, perhaps the best choice)
